How often do you clean your edc ?
I'm sure this has been asked, but I hate this search function..
How often do you all clean your carry gun??
I've been carrying my PX4 compact for a few months now that I trust it after running a bunch of rounds thru it..
That being said, it's been three weeks or so since a range trip, which I cleaned afterwards..
Today I was bored so I broke it down and the worst thing I found was a little fuzz, lint whatever in the barrel and on various parts..
Should that be a concern as to function??
No big pieces of anything, just small stuff..
I do run all of my firearms a little wet, so, crap magnet, obviously..
What say you?
I don't keep the barrel greased, a little CLP and patched clean...Last edited by 09polaris; September 11th, 2016 at 04:13 PM.

Re: How often do you clean your edc ?
I take the shop air compressor and blow my pistol off three or four times a week and I break it down every 30 days.

Once every two months or after a range trip. Whichever comes first.

Re: How often do you clean your edc ?
I mostly carry my S&W Shield. I clean it after EVERY range session. Once every 2-3 weeks I'll wipe down the slide with Weapon Shield, unless I get sweat on my gun that day. If I get sweat on my gun on that specific day, I wipe it down that day. Lately I've been wearing an under shirt or "A-shirt" (aka wife beater) underneath my t-shirts to help prevent sweating on my pistol.

Once a month generally. If I shoot more than a mag or two at the range with it, I'll clean them as well. I rotate through carry guns, so it's usually at least three or four I clean at a time.

Wait your supposed to clean your guns? Next you guys are going to tell me that you need to rotate or change your carry ammo every 10 or 15 years.
